"Sons of Anarchy" returned for its sixth season on cable network FX, on Tuesday. The premiere episode ended on a shocking note, with an 11-year-old pulling out KG-9 machine gun backpack and opening fire on unsuspecting school kids and teachers.

It was disturbing to watch a boy's calm demeanour and the horrific school shooting scene. It is expected that the fallout of the school shooting will be tackled in the next two episodes. The premiere episode of Season 6 has come under scathing criticism. According to The Daily Beast, Kurt Sutter, the creator of "Sons of Anarchy" has "crossed the line" and on "Tuesday night ... the show finally went too far."

In his interview with The Entertainment Weekly, Sutter explained his view on showing school shooting in the premiere episode of "Sons of Anarchy." "As much as I don't want to do something because it is sensational, I also don't want to not do something because it might be perceived as sensational."

He said that his desire to do this story (school shooting) "just felt very organic to the world. These guys deal guns, and there's a certain amount of disconnect once you put those guns out on the street not really knowing whose hands they're gonna end up in and what violence that they create."

When asked about the creative decision to make the 11-year-old boy the shooter, Sutter agreed that it was a big risk.

"Here's what I dig about we tend to do on this show: We have a lot of what I like to call epic absurdity on this show. It's really big and runs right up to that line of being fantastic.

"As far as the kid - that was a bit of a risk. We don't do flashbacks on this show, but there was a part of me that said, maybe we can play with the audience a little bit.

"I think the interesting thing is people who see that on my show start to think, oh my god, what awful thing is gonna happen to this kid?

"You just assume because he's an innocent that he will ultimately be the victim of something, and then to flip it and have him be the perpetrator of the violence as a result of that perfect storm -- it's hopefully what will feel organic but also surprising to people," Sutter told the Entertainment Weekly.
